Art show of wondrous photographic manipulations featuring the
landscape photography of Josh Dykgraaf transformed into animalia.
There are 17 pieces on display in Terraform and each is an animal
rebuilt from the earth. A wolf made from pieces of the Rocky Mountains
in Colorado. A flamingo made of autumn leaves. A wombat made from the
Grampians. A rhino made from the mountains of New Mexico and Arizona.
An elephant, lovingly nicknamed Janet, made from the alps around
Geneva. Every print in the collection will make you double-take and
look closely to take in the incredible detail.
The work involved in each image is mind-boggling. Josh has ranged the
world over with his DSLR, taking thousands of photos of landscapes and
collecting artefacts. Around 200 individual images and more than 50
hours of work go into making each piece of art. Josh has amassed an
avid following on Instagram where he documents the process of
creation, posting a story every 25 minutes, and collating time-lapse
story collections.
The series also features a number of bushfire themed works in response
to the recent bushfires.
Artist talk from 5pm on Wednesday 12 Feb, with the opening from 6pm.
Drink and nibbles provided.
Originally from Goulburn NSW, Josh Dykgraaf is a Melbourne-based
artist who has spent the last five years developing materials for his
